If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that the comeback of the drive-in movie theater across the country has been one of the most positive parts of the year. And if you can’t agree on that, it’s probably because you’ve never had a good old-fashioned night at the drive-ins. Should you decide to change that (and you really should), we highly recommend heading to Port Townsend and catching a double feature at the charming Wheel-In Motor Movie.

The Wheel-In has been around since 1953, making it one of the oldest drive-in theaters in the Pacific Northwest.

This single-screen gem was founded by the current owner’s grandparents, so it’s a small family business – and it’s run like one.

Of course, you’ll want to stock up on snacks in the concessions area before the show.

The gates open at 7:30 p.m., with all movies beginning at dusk.

Each carload is only $15, a far cry from what a traditional movie theater experience would cost.

The Wheel-In is open Wednesday - Sunday, with new movies playing each week.
